ditto. been doing alittle reading here and there, be patient bro!!!things are looking good Rock :thumb: :thumb:
Hey, thanks Tank. I always like it when you drop in here. I'm trying to be patient but it's hard when you feel your going downhill. Just in my mind though I know :)
 
Back-

Bent Row, 5 sets-

135x10/ 155x8/ 185x5+1/ 195x4/ 145x8+2

Pulldown, 3 sets-
115x10/ 115x8/ 115x7

I was exhausted during this w/o. When I got to shrugs I couldn't finish them :( I think my schedule is really catching up to me. Came off of nights for 2 days on day shift, tomorrow night I'm back on for nights for another week. :( I'm tired :)
 
Things are looking good Rock, don't get discouraged about the weight you are lifting, it is very impressive.

Why did you drop from 245x4 to 205x4. Your injuries?

What about M1T? do you notice gains go down off cycle?
 
Hey Iain. Yeah, my injuries. I had to lay off the weights for a few weeks and that was also at the end of an M1T cycle. So when I went back I was struggling with 205. Usually my gains don't go down too much after a M1T cycle as long as I keep the intensity up after the cycle. But more often than not I hurt myself and have to lay off and start again, LOL.

Rock,are you still taking any bcaas,pre/during workouts?
 
Actually no Tank. I want to still take ICE during my w/o but ran into financial problems and haven't been able to get any for the last month or so.
 
I am taking a side(David Tolson) and gonna say BCAA's are pretty much worthless :grin:

Nice PR on the bent rows :thumb:

Many people swear by BCAA's.

Many people swear by glutamine.

If you give someone a placebo, many people will swear by it.

I will not deny your personal experience. But I will say that I do not think it should constitute a convincing argument for others. I argue that the scientific evidence does not favor BCAA supplementation. If people go on to use them based on feedback that is their prerogative.

David thinks Glutamine is crap too.
 
wow,tons of reading!! thanks pre! :thumb:
 
Not a problem. Avant has tonz of information, just stay open minded, read, and make up your own mind. I am sick of debating how I feel about certian issues, and I feel that people should make their own INFORMED decisions. If something works for you, great!
 
Hey guys! Premi, I'm not arguing with you here. But I started taking ICE again today. It could be the placebo effect, but I notice a major difference in my workout and recovery when I take ICE as opposed to not taking it. Not based on informed information, just how I feel. I plan to read those articles tonight at work though! :)
 
New workout schedule! :) I'm going to try the push/pull routine again. Mon, Tue, Thur, Fri. Then once a month I'll do a week of isolated BP's. (mon- chest, tue- back...) And go heavy for that week. Still trying to find what works best for me.

W/O took exactly 1 hour. Very draining also, LOL :) Tried not to go to failure on any of the exercises, but fairly close. Wanted to do CG Bench for Tri's but after everything else I could barely lift the bar :) Also hurt my left leg at some point in the past few weeks. I have trouble bending over and when I did the leg press I couldn't extend my left leg all the way out. :(

Anyways, new schedule so I'm very open to suggestions and comments about things to change or moving exercises around etc...
 
Oh, and as for abs. I plan to do them aside from my workouts at home. Just crunches/ hovers (yeah Ris), Bicycles, reverse crunches, etc... Any other at home ab suggestions?
 
What about doing vacuum's too?

Its all good. The articles provide useful info, but liek I said, if you like the way something works, then use it. Science isnt 100% because we are all different :)
 
Hey, good idea. I'll definately do Vacuums! Thanks for the idea. I'm thinking about starting yoga or something too. i really need to loosen up and I'm just not good at traditional stretching.

Hey Rock! :hello: Dropping in on you! So much cathching up to do as well! Things are looking great! :dancer:
 
I have thought about yoga before. I ma sooo unflexible, its not even funny. If you decide to take it, let me know how it goes.
 
Hey Jen, thanks for dropping in. If you have any advice, I always respect what you have to say!

Jake- I was thinking about getting a DVD or something. Do it at home. I get to nervous about taking group classes :(
 
Hmm.. to each their own.

Are you still jogging with your friend? What about taking jiu-jitsu?
 
Yeah, I'm still jogging about 2 a week with meghan but I hardly break a sweat. :( I haven't been to jiu-jitsu since I broke my finger. I want to go back but I'm so busy right now and I'm afraid it'll just rebreak my finger in a few seconds.

Another good w/o. This high volume really wears on me though. I'm exhausted by the end and can't stop shaking. Meant to do forearms at the end but I ran out of time so I had to jet. Took about 1hour. Now working nights is really starting to wear on me! It was soooo hard to make it to the gym this afternoon!
 
Nights suck. I hate them, even though im not graveyard. It totally screws your bodys chemistry up too.
 
Yeah it does. It wasn't soo bad at first, but now I'm real tired and my eyes are bloodshot.
 
I worked 'rotating shifts' for three years in my younger days... and man did that suck. Two weeks days, two weeks evening, and two weeks graveyard. Talk about being lethargic. :)
